    Metallic sound when releasing brakes

    I've had an annoying braking issue on my 2012 Mazda 5 since Day 1. Sometimes when I release the brakes, I hear a distinct metallic "clunk" sound coming from near the bottom of the pedal. When the car was within warranty I had the dealership inspect it, but they couldn't figure out the root...

    Clunk in front-end

    Hey. So I drive a 95 Mazda Protege ES. I purchased the car about a year and a half ago and have put my share of work/cash into it (not a complaint, I love my little car) When I bought it I knew my struts were bad.

    Chasing the clunk

    2010, 85K miles, with rear suspension clunk. Replaced the rear sway bar bushings, no significant difference. Pulled the wheels to look at struts. This one (driver rear) looks like it's leaking -- you can see where I wiped the fluid with my finger. Does this look blown to you? Thanks in...

    I own a 2003 Mazda Protege ES. Due to clunking noises in the rear, I replaced both rear struts (Gabriel brand) and strut mounts (Duralast). It got rid of a lot of the clunking but there was still a little. However, I went on without worrying because I don't want to throw more money than I...

To provide some context, it had the symptoms of the widespread PTU (power transfer unit) problem, with oil leaking on the garage floor at around 6,000 miles. The dealer replaced the PTU under warranty. Since then, a...

    Cheetah Rear Bushing Adapter for Clunk

    So I've been looking around casually for options to deal with the inevitable clunk for as long as I've had it; the several brackets, different materials in the bushing (rubber, polyurethane), Teflon tape, marine and other silicone lubricants but they all seem to be indefinite solutions. Now...

    Anybody know what could be causing this noise???

    I just replaced the shocks and springs on my MSP all around and installed a clunk fix I bought on the site. Ever since then, the car has been making this knocking/clunking noise whenever the car is moving. Applying the breaks no matter how lightly, makes the noise stop. It happens whenever...
